Another legislative session is in the books.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent South Jordan and West Jordan. This session I sponsored legislation focused on taking care of our firefighters and first responders, improving our courts, protecting property rights, making it easier for people to interact with government, and continuing Utah’s work to protect kids from the harms of social media.
Most of these bills started with a conversation, a text message, or an email from one of my constituents. Good ideas rarely start in a committee room. They usually start with someone in the community seeing a problem and reaching out.
The graphic below highlights several of the bills I sponsored this year. Thank you to everyone who shared ideas and stayed engaged throughout the session. Your input makes the work better.

I was honored to receive the 2026 Defender of Liberty Award from the Libertas Institute.
Libertas publishes an annual index evaluating how legislators vote on issues related to the principles of life, liberty, and property. Their work helps bring transparency and accountability to the legislative process and highlights the importance of protecting the freedoms that make Utah such a great place to live.
While I do not serve in the legislature to chase awards or scorecards, I do appreciate organizations that take the time to carefully evaluate policy and the work being done at the Capitol.
I am grateful for the recognition and even more grateful for the opportunity to represent the people of House District 44. I will continue working to defend individual liberty, protect families, and keep Utah a place where freedom and opportunity can flourish.

The final days of the legislative session always bring a mix of exhaustion, relief, and reflection.
One thing many people may not realize is how much turnover there is in the legislature. Serving here requires real sacrifice from members and their families. The long nights, time away from home and work, pressure from every direction, and the financial reality of part-time public service mean that about a quarter of the House turns over every two years.
During the final days of each session, I try to take photos with the members who will be leaving the chamber. Some have decided not to run again. Others are moving on to different opportunities to serve.
Every year, these moments are some of the most meaningful of the entire session.
These are people I have debated with late into the night. The people I have worked alongside in the trenches of hard policy fights. The people I have laughed with in the halls after long days, and sometimes sat with during the difficult moments that come with public service.
We have not always agreed on policy. In fact, sometimes we strongly disagreed. But that has never changed the profound respect, admiration, and genuine affection I have for these colleagues.
From Rep. Carol Moss, who has served in this chamber for 26 years, to Reps. Jill Koford and Doug Fiefia, who are leaving after just their first term, each of them is an amazing individual who, regardless of party or ideology, has simply tried to do what they believed was right for their communities and for our state.
When the session ends and the chamber empties, you realize how much of this experience is really about the people.
I am deeply grateful for the long nights, passionate debates, laughs, and even a few tears we have shared together. Public service is rarely easy and often thankless, and I deeply appreciate the sacrifices they and their families have made.
The House will not feel quite the same without them.
I will miss them, and I wish each of them the very best in whatever comes next.

Day 43 of 45 of the legislative session. At this point, most of our time is spent on the House floor debating Senate bills and working through the final pieces of legislation before the session ends.
One of the best parts of serving in the legislature is being able to bring constituents onto the House floor and give them a behind the scenes look at how things actually work at the Capitol. I was lucky to have a few visitors join me today, including my wife, Aliona, and two of our kids. It is always fun for them to see the process up close and watch the work happening in real time.
If you are ever up here during the session, please stop by. I would love to have you sit with me for a few minutes and see it firsthand.
Two days left. Finishing strong.

Behind every bill that moves through the Utah House is a process most people never see. That process starts in the House Rules Committee.
Day 42 of 45 is in the books, and today we held our final meeting of the House Rules Committee for the 2026 legislative session.
Serving as Chair of the House Rules Committee has been one of the most demanding and rewarding responsibilities I’ve had at the Capitol. In addition to being a member of the House leadership team, the Rules Chair is entrusted by the Speaker of the House and by the body to help manage how legislation moves through the House during the session. The Rules Committee plays a central role in ensuring the legislative process runs smoothly and that hundreds of bills move through the system in an organized and thoughtful way.
Every bill introduced in the Utah House begins its journey in the Rules Committee. Before legislation can move anywhere else in the process, it first comes through Rules. From there, we review the bill and assign it to the appropriate standing committee so it can receive a full public hearing.
This year, the committee worked through over 900 bills and advanced 714 of them to continue through the legislative process, each one requiring careful review before it could move forward. That is a tremendous volume of legislation for a committee of eight members, but it is a critical part of keeping the session focused and ensuring the most important issues continue moving through the process.
Much of the real work happens behind the scenes. After floor debates and committee meetings end and most of the Capitol has emptied out for the night, the vice chair, Representative Karen Peterson, and I are often still there reading through stacks of bills, carefully evaluating their potential impact and how they interact with other legislation moving through the process. Those late nights allow us to prepare recommendations that help the full committee make nominations on which bills should advance and to which committee they should be assigned.
When the committee meets, members review those nominations and vote to approve the assignments. At the beginning of the legislative session, these formal sifting meetings usually happen once each day during floor time. As the pace intensifies near the end, we often meet twice daily to keep legislation moving through the system.
The Rules Committee also serves as a standing committee. In that role, we hear and debate legislation and receive public comment just like any other committee, typically on bills related to legislative rules and the internal operations of the legislature. This year we heard 29 bills in that capacity.
I’m incredibly grateful for our outstanding Rules Committee members from both sides of the aisle who have put in so much work this session, and to Rep. Peterson, whose partnership and judgment have been invaluable in managing this workload. I’m also deeply appreciative of our exceptional staff, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep the process organized and running smoothly.
It has been an honor to help steward this part of the legislative process. With only a few days left in the session, my focus now shifts to debating and voting on the remaining Senate bills that have made it through the process and are now before the House for final passage.
